JSR-170 or the Java Content Repository API, appeared on my radar somewhere early in 2004. JSR-170 is interesting to creators of content management systems because it promises a common API for accessing and manipulating CMS content. Implementing this API in a CMS could bring a number of potential benefits to it, such as interoperability, learnability, not reinventing the wheel, and so on. I go deeper into possible reasons for adopting any specification in my previous article Criteria for evaluating specifications.
